online eml parser

[Chad Berkley]

There isn't an absolute minumum but the eml-sample.xml and eml.xml files
are by no means extensive.  It might be nice to have a minimal one.  Are
you voluneering to create one? :)  

What was the filename of the file you tested?  That sounds like a weird
error message that I wouldn't expect.
